[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Among by dd’s friends, kids with top stats that were shut out wound up at Georgetown and Boston College.  Another with incredible extracurriculars (won the school service award) and great grades shut out everywhere but Maryland.[/quote]
So much of college admissions to the top colleges appear to be a lottery.[/quote]

It’s a lottery because the kids are all the same.

UMC, suburban, 1450+, 3.8+, classical instruments (piano/violin NEVER accordion or blaster beam), Key Club, Shadow a Doctor (parent or parents friend), STEM (NEVER classics or poetry or basket weaving), essay is about dead grandma/dog or trip abroad opened my eyes, Model UN (France, NEVER Papua New Guinea) there are only four future professions: law, medicine, engineering or finance.

You’re the AO at an T25 and you get 25k applications that look like this-100 alone from TJ.

Now what?

We need a ton of smart kids to go into law, medicine, engineering and finance. It’s disgusting that just because your grandpa happened to be born in China that you don’t have exactly the same chance to study these subjects as a kid whose ancestors were from a different part of the globe. [/quote]

Are you really trying to suggest that kids of Chinese descent don't get into law, med, egr and finance programs at top schools? Have you seen the class composition of these schools? Stop perpetuating a fallacy. Asian kids are very well represented at top schools,  especially for these areas.[/quote]
